' e PLOW. A

Application filedFebru'ary 25C, 1922. Serial No. 539,135.

To all who/mt may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES GLUEGK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Gainesmoore, in the county of Matagorda and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to plows, and one of the objects of the invention is to provide a plow so constructed that the plow share may be quickly and easily adjusted both angularly and vertically.

Another object of the invention is to provide a plow of this character which, while capable of various adjustments, yet is simple in construction and inexpensive in manu` facture.

Other objects and advantages of the in-V vention will appear as the description proceeds. Y

I will now proceed to describe one particular form of my invention, it being understood that those skilled in the art may make many changes and modifications therein, without departing from Vthe spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims; and the drawings forming part of this specification are therefore to be considered merely as illustrative, and not in any limiting sense. i

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the plow, the plow share and mold-board being shown in dotted lines.

Figure 2 is a front view of the swinging standard and associated parts; the Vplow share being removed.

Figure 3 is a side view of the swinging standard and a portion of the beam; parts being broken away to more clearly show the construction; and,

Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view taken on line 4 4 of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawings more iii-detail, numeral 1 indicates the ruimer on which is mounted the beam 2. Adjacent its front end the beam is provided with any ordinary type of clevis 8, and adjacent its rear end the conventional handles 4 v'are attached thereto. Bars 5 are provided for bracing the handles. c u

The rearportion- 6 of the beam 2 is curved on the arc of a circle, the center of which circle is indicated by numeral 7. Pivotally A block 12 is mounted for movement in the standard 8, 8. Any desired construction may be employed for guiding the block.

In the specific form illustrated the block is provided with recessed or channel portions 13, 13 which are adapted to receive the arms 8, 8, of the standard, and which act as guides for the block. Y

The block 12 is also provided with a lug 14 which is adapted to receive and screwthreadedly engagea shaft 15. The shaft 15 isprovided with an operating handle 16, and is mounted on the standard in anypreferred manner, as bymeans of bearing lugs, 17, 17, on one of the arms 8 of the standard.

A bolt hole 18yis provided in the block, by means vofwhich `any type of share 19 may be attached thereto.

The operation vof the apparatus will be apparent from the foregoing description. IWhen it is desired to adjust the share angularly it is only necessary to lift. the latch- 10 and swing thestandard to the desired position. If the position of the share is to be adjusted vertically, then the rotation of the shaft 15 by the operating handle 16 will cause the share to be raised or lower ed as desired. Y

In accordance withV the patent statutes I have described what I now believe to beV the best embodiment of my invention, but I do not wish to be understood thereby as limiting myself or the scope of my invention, as many modifications may be made vwithout departing from the spirit of the invention', and vall such I aim to include in the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim asnew and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A plow including a pivotally mounted standard, means for securing the standard in adjusted angular position, ay block mount-V ed for sliding movement in said standard,

a rotatable shaft carried by said standard and sCreu/threadedly engaging said block, means for rotatinzg' said shaft whereby the block is raised or lowered, and means for 5 mounting a plow share on said block.

10 over the are portion of the beam, means carried by the standard for engaging the beam and securing the standard in adjusted angular position, a block-mounted for sliding movement in said standard, a rotatable shaft carried by the standard and sor'eW- threadeclly engaging the block, means for rotatingethe shaft whereby the block is raised or lowered, and means for mounting a plow share on said block.

CHARLES GLUECK.
